William Dearhamer, III has earned an April Character Education Award for RESPECT!👏👏👏
A fifth-grade student at Princeton Elementary, he consistently goes above and beyond to create a welcoming and kind environment.
His kindness extends beyond words, and he takes pride in working with students with unique needs, often assisting them by pushing their wheelchairs to class, offering high-fives in the hallway, and even sharing a comforting hug when needed.
Dearhamer ensures students feel safe and supported by walking them to class, and always checking in on teachers and staff with thoughtful words and well wishes!
Congratulations William, for being recognized as the April Character Ed Student for Princeton Elementary!🥳

Due to the hazardous road conditions caused by the recent winter weather event, Johnston County Public Schools will be closed for all students tomorrow, Friday, January 24, 2025, as well as all extracurricular activities. The district will operate under Condition 3 of the inclement weather plan.
For JCPS staff, this day will become an optional teacher workday. Schools and county offices will open at 10 AM.
As always, safety is our primary concern and after driving our roadways and receiving guidance from local safety officials and NCDOT, we have been advised that though the main roads within high-traffic areas may be clear, many secondary roads within the rural areas of the county are expected to still have hazardous conditions through Friday, making them unsafe for JCPS transportation use. In addition, many of our campuses have shaded walkways, parking lots, and areas that must continue to be assessed by our operational staff before students may safely return.
Extracurricular activities and community facility use will resume on Saturday morning, however, we still encourage site visitors to travel safely and be cautious while on campus, particularly in shaded areas.
Have a great weekend everyone and make the most of what is left of the snow!
Due to the hazardous conditions caused by the recent winter weather, all JCPS schools and office buildings will be closed for students and staff on Thursday, January 23, 2025, as well as all after-school activities and events.
JCPS will operate under Condition One of the Inclement Weather Plan. Please view the details of the plan by visiting the JCPS website at www.johnston.k12.nc.us/weatherconditions.
